Menstrual bleeding pictures

Every female friend's body growth reaches a certain stage, and they will experience menstruation once a month, which is the menstrual period. Many female friends feel that menstruation is a very inconvenient thing, but it must be admitted that menstruation can help us excrete toxins from the body to a great extent and prevent some gynecological diseases. At the same time, it is also a weather map of women's physical and mental health. Women can learn to judge their physical condition from the situation of menstruation. Below we look at the pictures of what causes heavy bleeding at the bedside during menstruation.

How much is the normal menstrual flow?

Generally speaking, a normal menstruation lasts about 5 to 7 days, that is to say, each menstrual bleeding should be around 30 to 80 ml. Only when this standard is met can the detoxification function of the female liver be carried out smoothly. As for the situation that many women in daily life have their menstrual period only for three or two days, this is actually a symptom of scanty menstruation. In medicine, this condition is often referred to as oligomenorrhea. Women must not take it lightly. If the menstrual flow is scanty and not treated in time, it will actually affect their own reproductive function and normal reproductive function.

What to do if your menstrual flow is heavy

The causes of menorrhagia vary for women of different ages and physiological stages. Taking women aged 25 to 40 as an example, there are different reasons for excessive menstrual flow, and there are corresponding treatments for these causes.

1. If the menstrual flow is heavy due to improper contraceptive measures, replace other contraceptive methods with oral medication, or switch to an intrauterine device containing progesterone that can reduce the menstrual flow. Although birth control pills are readily available at any pharmacy, it is important to understand that they are medicines. If you want to use this method of contraception, it is not enough to just read the prescription materials of the medicine carefully. You must consult a specialist before purchasing to fully understand its combination and contraindications, proper dosage, and preventive measures in case of missed doses.

2. The heavy menstrual flow caused by inflammation is a universal magic formula for dealing with various infections: adequate rest, a certain amount of drinking water and a bland diet. Such minor infections can heal on their own. Otherwise, you need to see a doctor immediately for treatment with effective antibiotics.

3. If the menstrual flow is heavy due to pregnancy, the simplest way to test is to test for pregnancy: you can get a rough estimate of the situation by checking your morning urine. But this method is not completely reliable. Sometimes before miscarriage occurs, female hormones have already dropped and a negative result appears. If your vaginal bleeding increases too much and too quickly in a short period of time, or the bleeding lasts too long, or if you have other uncomfortable symptoms at the same time, you should contact a doctor immediately.

4. The first problem with heavy menstrual flow caused by endometriosis is to establish a diagnosis. Although an experienced gynecologist can detect some typical manifestations of endometriosis through a simple pelvic examination or ultrasound scan, diagnosing this disease requires laparoscopy. Corresponding treatments include oral hormone regulating drugs or surgical treatment.

5. If the menstrual flow is heavy due to the tumor, a standard gynecological examination once a year, including pelvic examination, cervical smear, and pelvic ultrasound, laparoscopy or hysteroscopy when necessary, can help you detect and treat the above abnormalities in the early stage.

6. Heavy menstrual flow caused by blood disease, especially for young women. If you have been dealing with the problem of heavy menstruation for a long time and no cause can be found after examination by an obstetrician and gynecologist, then you should consider undergoing a detailed blood test to see if you have a blood disease.

7. For heavy menstrual flow caused by endocrine disease, you should pay attention to maintaining a happy mood and avoid worry, depression and anger, which can damage the liver and spleen, or excessive emotions, which can turn the five emotions into fire and disturb the Chong and Ren meridians, causing menstrual symptoms.

8. Heavy menstrual flow caused by dieting or irregular eating habits, so you should avoid overeating or overeating high-fat, greasy food, cold food, spicy food, or dry food to avoid damaging the stomach and intestines and causing insufficient metabolism, or accumulation of moisture to produce phlegm or dispersion of blood or burning of blood, which may cause irregular menstruation.

9. Develop a good lifestyle, adjust the temperature according to the climate and environment, adjust clothes appropriately, and don't keep it too cold to avoid causing cold, damaging Qi and blood, and causing menstrual symptoms. Arrange your time reasonably but do not overwork or over-exercise, as it will hurt your temper and cause menstrual symptoms caused by neglect of control or insufficient metabolism. Pay attention to your diet and eat regularly and quantitatively. Contraceptive surgery and abstinence should attach great importance to birth control and abstinence to prevent diseases, avoid frequent pregnancies (including abortions) and sexual intercourse during menstruation and after childbirth, otherwise it will damage Chong and Ren, Jing Qi, and kidney essence, causing menstrual symptoms. The above-mentioned types should be paid more attention in daily life, and more attention should be paid during menstrual period and after childbirth, which can reduce or avoid the occurrence of the disease.
